"Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people.
Where do the black trees go that drink here?
Their shadows must cover Canada."

My "Pulitzer" sees the light of day eventually...
for Sylvia Plath in memoriam, a fellow "tortured poet"
A neat and brief "compare and contrast" from myself, Jonathan. Quality above quantity.

It's back to work here at NASA at Big Tree Harare. And as always we begin the year with fresh insights and sometimes the odd optional extra. In this case I'm donning a Chimanimani T-Shirt and thinking about who to add to my new Trees of Southern Africa Birthday Calendar!! 🏞️🌳✅

And it certainly comes with a sting! Watch this (deep)space folks.

Catching up on some reading here at NASA at Big Tree Harare thanks to my first ever pair of spectacles. Thoroughly enjoying Planetfall by Emma Newman. Finally I can see the text again without zooming in. I've been longsighted in my left eye for about a year now. 👓😉💜

Dear Taylor,
thank you for everything you share. I'm in happy-sad tears after watching The End of an Era
Saved your music to the Flame lily folder on my phone
Here is a "bouquet" of flame lilies. They grow on the driveway which I named "Cornelia Street" here at Big Tree Harare

Pop-up Oracle and Tarot Reading
Last night's reading. I thought I'd sleep on it. Strong cards today Washington. The Death-Rebirth card was the first card I picked and The Wombat Spirit the last. Make yourselves at home folks. Ten years later. 🎴🌠☀️

A section of my library dedicated to Dublin "the City of Writers". I see I just caught the end of Irish Book Week (18-25 Oct 2025) by complete coincidence. Currently reading Normal People by Sally Rooney. Still to do: history? 🇮🇪
